A full grown Oleander tree <br />Seen at eye-level from skywalk, <br />Lovely leaves with yellow flowers <br />Trumpet-like and drop of nectar at end. <br /> <br />My mind jumped to Leander <br />And Christopher Marlowe <br />Whoe'er loved that loved not at first sight? <br />Long because of ten syllables and truth. <br /> <br />The only line that Shakespeare 'quoted' <br />Not able to recall fast where he used it <br />Search in his 'Venus and Adonis' <br />Then it struck me maybe in As You Like It. <br /> <br />Yes, I saw the play on my iPad <br />And on search with the lens <br />On right-hand top corner, I found <br />The line in Act III Scene V.<br /><br />Daniel Trevelyn Joseph<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/oleander-in-front-of-ioc-building-25-07-2013/
